One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.

And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law.

Average electricity cost increase since Jan:

Missouri ⬆️ 37%
Iowa ⬆️ 30%
North Dakota ⬆️ 30%
Oklahoma ⬆️ 30%
New Jersey ⬆️ 27%
Nebraska ⬆️ 25%
Montana ⬆️ 25%
Wyoming ⬆️ 23%

NATIONWIDE ⬆️ 11%

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

How far gone is Trump's mind?

He says the 2020 census was rigged.

It was conducted while the president was... HIM

He's accusing HIMSELF of rigging a census 🤪

Donald Trump repeatedly told us that his tariffs would not increase prices for consumers. 

So why on Earth is he lowering his tariffs on various foods? 

Duh, because his tariffs raised prices. 

Just another day with Don the Con.
Trump goes on defense over tariffs as prices on everyday items keep rising
The rollback of import taxes on coffee, bananas and many other foods is the latest sign that the administration could be forced to shift course.

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed"
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein provided the Justice Department with "precise and detailed" information about 20 alleged co-conspirators, House Democrats say.

While American farmers and producers struggle due to his reckless trade wars, President Trump wants to quadruple foreign beef imports from Argentina. It's unbelievable.

$40,000,000,000 for Argentina.
$200,000,000 for Kristi Noem’s private jets.
$230,000,000 for a DOJ payout to TRUMP.

But nothing to stop your healthcare costs from increasing.

Talk about priorities.

Tim Walz: "Everything coming out of DHS right now is about theatrics, is about a media hit or whatever. My guess is she's probably here on personal business and used it as a way to pay for it by having a press conference that had absolutely nothing factual and nothing new."
